Neuropsychological consequences of boxing and recommendations to improve safety: a National Academy of Neuropsychology education paper.

10 Mar 2009 Boxing has held appeal for many athletes and audiences for centuries, and injuries have been part of boxing since its inception. Although permanent and irreversible neurologic dysfunction does not occur in the majority of participants, an ... Read more...

Routine continuous perfusion for aortic arch reconstruction in the neonate.

30 Dec 2007 Continuous perfusion has evolved over the past 15 years as a viable cerebral protection strategy for neonatal aortic arch reconstruction. It presents an attractive alternative to deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. However, because of its ... Read more...

Perioperative neuroprotective strategies.

30 Dec 2007 Long-term neurodevelopmental impairment is common in newborns and infants undergoing corrective or palliative congenital heart surgery. The etiologies of neurodevelopmental morbidity in these children are multifactorial and include prenatal, ... Read more...
